movies

I’m still seriously torn on whether or not to see this film.
On the one hand, it looks like it’s extremely well-made and seems to be ultra-compelling. I thoroughly enjoy Liam Neeson’s talent. And I love wolves. But therein lies the potential issue…
I love wolves! And, if what some are saying is true, this movie has given them [wolves] a bit of a bad name. Any graphic scenes, with them being either injured or killed, would most likely also be very difficult for me to watch. What can I say… I’m a sucker for animals -tried ‘n true. 😉

In the meantime, I’d happily welcome any suggestions / recommendations / or personal opinions, should anyone happen to have any that they’d like to share.

• “The kingdom of god is inside you …and all around you, not in buildings/mansions of wood and stone; split a piece of wood and I am there, lift a stone and you will find me.”
-The Gospel of St. Thomas (1945)

• “Aliens out in space were looking down on Earth. One said, “It seems the dominant life forms have developed satellite-based weapons.” The second asked, “Are they an emerging intelligence?” “I don’t think so,” the first responded, “They have the weapons pointed at themselves.”
-Unknown

• “I’m neither a leader nor a follower… I don’t hide in the shadows nor bask in the sun… I won’t require your attention, nor will I seek it… I march to the beat of my own drum —where you hear it’s music, that’s where I’ll be.”

• “I’ll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking OUTSIDE the box when there’s evidence of ANY thinking going on INSIDE it.”
-Terry Pratchett

• “Reality exists independently of us. It has no need for human beings, one way or another. But art, by it’s very definition, must be created.”

• “Truth …is the first casualty of war.”
-Philip Snowden (In his introduction to Truth and the War, by E. D. Morel)

• “Before you, my life was like a moonless night
Very dark, but there were stars; points of light and reason
Then you shot across my sky like a meteor
Suddenly, everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty
When you were gone… When the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light
I couldn’t see the stars anymore
…And there was no more reason for anything”
-Edward, Twilight Saga (revised)

• [Quote:]
A girl asked a boy, “Do you think I’m pretty?”
The boy replied, “No.”
The girl asked, “Do you want to be with me forever?”
The boy replied, “No.”
Finally the girl asked, “Well, would you cry if I walked away?” Once again the boy said, “No.”
She’d heard enough; tears streaming down her face, she’d turned to leave when the boy suddenly grabbed her arm and said, “I don’t think you’re pretty, …I think you’re BEAUTIFUL. I wouldn’t want to be with you forever, …I NEED to be with you forever. And I wouldn’t cry if you walked away, …I would DIE!”
